November Wish List

-
I was so inspired last month after I made an October to do list on my blog. I think the thought process of realizing all I had to do helped me just get them all done! So I am going to give it another try for November. As you can see from the picture on the left, I have begun plastering in my laundry room, or I should say that John and I are working on this part of the room (the only project left from Oct). I am kinda hoping he just takes charge and tells me when I can prime and paint :) We'll keep you posted on that project throughout the month...

And this month, my main goal is Christmas. I would love to be all ready for it by the end of the month - including shopping, wrapping, Christmas letter and website, and cards. I have already started shopping and have 6 people done already. I am hoping to mail out my AZ, WA, and CO packages right after Thanksgiving this year. As long as the weather and children remain well, I think we can pack in some time for all these goals. I will keep you posted on progress as we go...

Another goal for November is accountability. I am going through a Beth Moore bible study with 15 other women on Monday nights and this week's lesson was about relationships, seduction, and accountability. I am so excited to now have an official accountability partner who I can't wait to get to know better. I think with her influence and our accountability to each other, my relationship with God will grow during this busy season.

What about you, any goals for the rest of the year?

Our 2024 Christmas Update

Merry Christmas from our crew to yours! We are thankful for 2024 and all that it brought to our family. God has been gracious and merciful to us as we hope to glorify Him with our lives and figure out our next season of life. We had more ups than downs this year and are excited to see what unfolds in 2025. John and Deanna celebrated 26 years of marriage this year and were able to celebrate with an anniversary trip through four National Parks in CA and NV. It was an amazing trip and of course urges us to travel more this coming year while we are healthy enough to hike and have more time on our hands in this short season. Other family highlights of 2024 included seeing the Total Eclipse, watching the Chiefs win another Superbowl, and spending time together all six of us at home or on vacations together a few times this year.  John spent the last year continuing to volunteer with Partners Worldwide, his business mentor group, and our church, Bethel Baptist Church. He started a contrac...

The peer pressure of the internet

-
So I have been invited about 5 times to join Facebook this past year and it seems lately most of my adult friends are joining. I have been afraid to join, not because of the crazy psychos out there, but because I know the time I would lose once I joined. I keep going back and forth and am driving John crazy using his account all the time to email friends I haven't talked to for awhile. He keeps telling me to get my own account. He joined last year because his youth Sunday School Class was all on there and it was better for them to discuss and email through Facebook . He is just now using it to re-connect with other people or talk back and forth with KC friends here (he no longer teaches the youth at church). When my friend Sara joined she said her inbox was full of friend requests and how crazy it was to get requests from people she never really talked to back in high school. Is it rude to just decline those people or is the "cool" thing to just have a bunch of friend...
